I think about the fact that it is no longer necessary to cut leaves. I cut it a lot, but I notice that many people cut a bunch of leaves at one time, although somewhere I read no more than 10% at a time. When I gave fertilizers, I always diluted them with water even more to reduce ppm Day 68: I added cal-mag to the diet because the leaves are really turning yellow from the bottom. 0.5 ml Day 70: I added 1 ml cal-mag

Everything going well with this strain no problems and growth is very fast, they bounce back after any defoliation. Day 41 - Gave them a haircut today and a good Biosys tea feed till run of will leave now till start of next week Planning to add a drip irrigation feed system this week to make this a little easier. 🤞 Will update next Sunday now end of week 6 as will be busy adjusting and implementing the irrigation feed.

Growdiaries Grow 20 Welcome to my 20th grow on growdiaries, I'm doing 4 plants in this grow. This grow will consist of. #1 FFNA2410 Fastbuds test (?days flower) #2 FFNA2411 Fastbuds test (?days flower) #3 FFNA2412 Fastbuds test (?days flower) #4 Acapulco Gold MSNL (56-70days flower) This diary is focusing on: #2 FFNA2411 Fastbuds tester. I have little to no information about this strain until its been released for sale. The only information I do have is it is a fastflowering photoperiod. I have grown fadtbuds fastflowering photos before and they were 🔥 so 🤞these will also be great. Equipment on Smart plugs. 1. Light= Viparspectra Xs2000 2. Extractor= Ac infinity 4 inch 3.

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 6 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

W19 (Harvest) 6-6 Last day before harvest. 7-6 Harvest day! Installed a humidifier outside the tent, set to 55% aiming for a 60% humidity inside the dry tent. 21-6 After 14 days of slow drying she is ready to be trimmed. While posting this a couple of months later i found out that i totally forgot to make pictures and video's of the trimmed buds 😅 It was a very nice daytime smoke, tasted sweet-sour. End results: 74.26 Grams of bud 57.90 Grams of small buds and trim, in the freezer for bubble hash. I have some trim and small buds saved up from different strains and i will be posting a diary of the full process making hash of them! If you are interested in me making bubble hash feel free to follow me as i will make some in the next month, this way you keep notified!

FEEDING   Nutrient soultion was the same as previous week and was given twice per day. DIARY Day 108 Did some major pruning today, unfortunately I had a lot of pictures, but accidentaly removed them while cleaning storage on my phone.... Anyway, I removed all the bottom leaves and cleaned the inside of the plant so there would be more air flow. I also removed lower branches that would never reach the top of canopy. In total, I removed 10 L bucket worth of leaves and branches OVERALL PLANT STATE I measured the plant height on day 109 and again on day 112. In three day plant grew from 65 cm to 75 cm, she is streching a lot. The width of the plant is 120 cm, the lenght of the plant is 130 cm. WEATHER REPORT Day 106-109, 112 It was sunny these days, day temperatures were 33 °C, night temperatures were 22 °C Day 110-111 Weather was cloudy, it looked liked it would rain but it never did. Day temperatures were 22 °C, night temperatures were 18 °C.

Hi guys, The plant is done stretching but am showing N deficiency in lower leaves. I don't know if its because of the light mover, the lower plant not getting light, or maybe its the genetics. But should I be concerned? I tried to add some blood meal in my weekly tea and an extra dose of macro nutrients just for this one plant, but still seeing deficiencies. Well this is why I like to grow these girls, they behave differently.

De nuevo se actualiza estas red hoy cookies de sweetseeds. Tercera semana de floración, y es que vaya tonalidades más bonitas comienzan a mostrar. Se hizo una defoliación, hace unas semanas hubo temperaturas bajas, lo cual para controlar esas temperaturas abrí las puertas en su periodo nocturno , estrese a los ejemplares y estos en este caso fueron las más afectadas en cuanto a hermafroditismo, aun con el problema rocié y elimine todos los posibles plátanos, y seguiré adelante y seguiré observando que no salgan más , los cuales seguiré eliminando. A mayores sufrimos una pequeña carencia en N que con un buen aplicado de alimentación se soluciona. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: 1 ml x L Flowering black line , vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Beta shark, vía radicular. 0,3 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Betazyme, vía radicular. 0,05 ml x L Gold Joker, vía radicular. 0,2 ml x L Silver, vía radicular. . Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

🌸 Week 1 Flower – Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Phenotypes: SSH #1 & SSH #2 Tent: 8x8 Shared Grow Space Lighting: Future Of Grow – Black Series 600W LED Control System: TrolMaster Hydro-X Watering: Hand Watering Pot Size: 11L Fabric Pots Medium: Super Soil with Aptus Holland amendments CO₂: ~700 ppm Day Temp: 31°C Night Temp: 25°C Humidity: 50% Soil Temp: 25°C Water pH: 6.1 Water EC: 0.6 Runoff EC: ~2.0 Water Temp: 18.5°C PPFD: 760–780 µmol/m²/s ⸻ 🌿 Early Flower Surprise Week 1 of flower… and I swear these girls are moving like they’re already in week 2. Pistils are out, floral sites are forming, and the stretch is starting with elegance. It’s possible they slipped into pre-flower during late veg without me catching it, they were so stable, compact, and lush that I might have missed the subtle signals. Either way, they’ve entered bloom with full confidence. Both phenos are incredibly similar in structure and size, making them a joy to manage. They’re compact yet big, stacking nodes tightly while still filling space. The leaf color is deep and uniform, the formation is textbook Haze, and the inner node spacing is perfectly balanced for light penetration. ⸻ 💧 Feed & Water Adjustments We’ve tweaked the recipe this week, retiring Aptus Start Booster and introducing Aptus Top Booster at 0.25 ml/L. Current Feed (per L): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml The soil is already enriched with slow-release Aptus pellets, which explains why EC in solution is lower (0.6) while the medium’s own EC is holding steady at ~2.0. They’re drinking well, 1.5–2 L per day — with irrigation happening around 25% dryness in the pots. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions & Upcoming Changes The room is running hotter than ideal at 31°C daytime, 25°C night. RH is stable at 50%. CO₂ sits comfortably at ~700 ppm. A dedicated AC unit is on its way and should be installed next week, which will help dial temperatures closer to the sweet spot for flowering. Soil temperature is at 25°C, supporting strong root activity, while PPFD at the canopy sits between 760–780 µmol/m²/s depending on plant position. We monitor these numbers carefully to keep photosynthesis at optimal efficiency without stressing the plants. ⸻ ⚙️ Why We Measure Everything • PPFD: Ensures plants receive the right light intensity for maximum photosynthetic activity during each stage. Too low = underpowered; too high = light stress. • Soil Dryness: Prevents both overwatering and underwatering, protecting root health and microbial balance in living soil. • Soil EC: Tells us nutrient availability inside the medium, helping us adjust feed without guessing. • CO₂: Works in harmony with light intensity and temperature to push growth rates without causing metabolic stress. ⸻ 👑 Remembering the Queen Super Silver Haze isn’t just another cultivar, she’s an old school heavyweight, a cup-winning legend with a long legacy. Growing her feels like growing history. There’s nostalgia here for me, a personal connection to the magic this plant has delivered over decades. My hope is to see her express that classic SSH magic, the electric haze high, the silver sheen on the colas, and the unmistakable aroma that once ruled the cups. ⸻ 📸 Studio Shots & Natural Growth Of course, I couldn’t resist taking them to the studio this week. Under the lens, they shine, vibrant greens, symmetrical structures, healthy posture. No training yet, letting them express themselves naturally as they settle into flower. Next week, I expect to see stronger pistil development, initial stacking, and perhaps the first hints of stretch acceleration. ⸻ 🔮 What’s Next? • AC unit installation for tighter climate control • Continued monitoring of PPFD and EC • Watching for early resin development • Tracking stretch patterns for possible support netting These queens are just starting to show what they’re capable of. The road to the crown begins here. 🌿👑 💚 Dog Doctor 📣 Thank you for following the Super Silver Haze journey!

Semana 15: Ella ha rebotado al mejorar el tiempo, pero como no va a dar mucho más de si he decidido quitarla. Tiene un agradable aroma cítrico acompañado de toques dulces. Ha salido un fenotrigo, poca hierba pero de calidad, seguramente con mejor clima hubiera sido diferente

Day 35 Flower Hey Growers. Things are going well here, other than the delicious funk that is emanating from my house. The carbon filter is not able to keep up with these beauties and the FastBuds flowering at the same time. It’s also about 5 years old so…..time for a new one. It also doesn’t help that the 4 ft of snow around the house is melting and I have to have the grow room door open for the sump line, but whatever. These girls are just cruising along. I watered with 950 ppm and 1650 was the runoff. I’m noticing a bit of tip burn but I hear that normalish for full spectrum leds. They make the plants draw extra mag, seems like the Epsom is helping with that. I’m getting to a point where I may need to water twice a day to achieve denser quality buds, the next couple weeks will dictate that. Hand watering hydro is a terrible idea!!!!!!!!!! Too late to turn back. I am running the Vipar Spectra XS2000 at the recommended 16” at 100%. I’m also alternating from the right to left side of the tent each day like a poor man’s light mover. I’m noticing leaf edge curl (tacoing) but it’s nothing major and they pointing upwards. They seem happy. All in all I’m happy with how it’s going, just gonna keep it on cruise control and tuck or remove leaves causing problems. Happy Growing 🌱

90th TOTAL GROW DAY 49th BLOOM: Nice smell from both phenos, a sweet fruity one coming from the most purple pair of plants. And an earthy pungent from the foxtailed pheno, can't wait to try them! I'll chop first one in a moment, as I didn't watered it in a pair of days, hope it had enough time to flush and get rid of nutrients. Been growing since 00's and never used any kind of those unfamous flushing products, just be water :) I guess the others will finish in 3-4 days. UPDATE DAY 92th TOTAL GROW, 52th BLOOMING DAY: Been checking trichomes daily and there's a nice balance between cristal, cloudy and amber. No signs of seeds, been checking too during last month the tray and pots at the floor searching for fallen male flowers, easier than keep looking bud by bud under a CMH😎. It's been a pair of weeks flushing nutrients, can appreciate how leaves are expressing the lack of. There's one that turned fan leaves really purple last days , anthocyanins are an evidence on this strain! Let's cut and hang full plants upside down!

Hello everybody Welcome to the review week 😁 (Harvest pictures previous week) What can i say. Another very fun year doing this hobby. Grow number 5 since I'm here on growdiaries and ever year I improved because ofvall the knowledge here. Last year my NL'S started fantastic but it went horribly wrong during flowering. I was very motivated for this revenge round since NL is great strain and I knew where the mistakes were made in the previous grow. Made a well fed soil, added lots of RQS nutrients and made it extra airy by adding about 20 to 25 % extra perlite. Germination was made in a soil plug. Soaked the seed for 24h and then 12h in a moisted paper napkin . After the root came out a little bit i put her directly in the soil plug After 2 days she put her head out 🙏 Vegative phase was fun but she was stunted from the cold in the first weeks outside. With photoperiods that's not a problem but with autoflowers u end up with a small plant. Gave some neem oil spray too every week. No bugs have been seen on the plant. Fantastic product I did my first LST training and that was so fun to do. I fucked up here and there and should have spread the canopy more open but i give myself 6,5/10 for the first time 😁 Didn't break anything and she reacted well on my inexperienced hands. Will always do this from now on but with adjustments of course 😁 we grow to learn In flowering she did well but she stayed on the small side, wasn't very bushy and didn't completely filled up the space she had. But the plant was healthy and what she had did very well and delivered super nice buds. In the final 2 weeks she really bulked up a lot and gave me my first handsized buds ❤️🙏 I had Budrot because of high humidity in the morning and 2 small rains. It was extremely warm here during July and August but during the days we had 30° to 40° Celsius with low humidity and at night 15°Celsius with night and morning humidity of 80% to 100% 🤷‍♂️ 🙄 talk about a challenge Every plant will develop problems in such swinging climate conditions but the NL did pretty good. Lost about 20% of the plant unfortunately but that's life After 16 weeks she looked done for me. Chopped her and had to dry her in warm weather. The tent was around 23°Celsius, couldn't get it lower. After 5 days the smaller buds were on the verge of just a bit too wet but close to dry and i know it's better to put them in a little bit more wet instead of too dry because it's harder to add moisture than the other way around. Opened the jars 4 times daily the first week and it was okay. The handsized more wet buds were added after 7 days of drying and didn't have any problems. An overall very smooth grow untill the budrot problem. Will grow this one again since i have 10 seeds left of them 😁 (small note for RQS if they read this : mix up the free strains guys 😂 1 Royal Jack and 13 NL here) Thanks for the help and comments Another year were i learned a lot from everyone here 🙏 Happy growing 🙏
